Check one last time that there are no knots in the lines, nothing is twisted and that
the lines are not caught in vegetation or rocks. You must be particularly attentive in
lighter winds.
WARNING: If there are obvious creases in the glider as a result of tight packing or long
term storage, carry out some practice inflations before your first launch and smooth out
the trailing edge a little. This ensures that the flow profile is correct during launch. This is
particularly important in low temperatures.
Start check
The start check is carried out immediately before launch to check the most important safety
points once again. It should always be carried out in the same sequence so that nothing is
overlooked. The points are:
1.
Is your personal equipment in order (engine, harness, carabiners, reserve, helmet)
and are all straps done up?
2.
Is the canopy arranged in a half-moon shape and are all the air intakes open?
3.
Are all the lines untangled and are any lines under the canopy?
4.
Are the trimmer positions correct and symmerical?
5.
Does the weather, in particular wind direction and strength, allow a safe flight?
6.
Is the propeller free?
7.
Does the engine deliver full power?
8.
Are the airspace and launch area clear?
